My roommate (new roommate, old housemate) and I were just talking about ways to make the commute easier, as I have struggled to find a seat on the train before (I prefer to stand on subways, since I don't need to take it more than 2 stops). Apparently, if you read Cosmo, business men not only won't sit next to you, but they'll get up and move. Unfortunately, my problem has been with women, so this doesn't help.
